The Arizona Coyotes acquired center Derek Stepan and goalie Antti Raanta from the New York Rangers on Friday for defenseman Anthony DeAngelo and the seventh overall pick in the draft.
The 27-year-old Stepan, of Hastings, had 17 goals and 38 assists in 81 games with the Rangers last season. Arizona has lacked a true top-line center for years and is hoping Stepan can fill that void.
Raanta went 16-8-2 with four shutouts and a 2.26 goals-against average in 30 games as Henrik Lundqvist's backup. He will get a chance to be Arizona's No. 1 goalie after Mike Smith was traded to Calgary last weekend.
DeAngelo had five goals and nine assists in 39 games last season, his first in the NHL.
The Coyotes have made massive changes since Andrew Barroway became sole owner earlier this month, trading Smith, parting ways with coach Dave Tippett and opting not to offer captain Shane Doan a contract.
Arizona also acquired defenseman Niklas Hjalmarsson from Chicago earlier Friday for defenseman Connor Murphy and forward Laurent Dauphin. The 30-year-old Hjalmarsson had spent his entire 10-year career with Chicago, helping the Blackhawks to three Stanley Cup titles.
The Swede had five goals, 13 assists and a team-high 181 blocked shots in 73 games last season.
Oshie signs for $46M
Before the NHL draft started Friday night, Washington re-signed right winger T.J. Oshie to an eight-year, $46 million deal that will carry an annual salary cap hit of $5.75 million.
